Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Place beef and pork in a large bowl.
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat; add celery, garlic and onion; cook until soft, 5-7 minutes. Cool slightly; add to the meat in the bowl; add parsley, chives, sage and thyme.
Place bread chunks in a food processor; pulse a few times to form coarse crumbs; add to meat mixture, along with fresh herbs, eggs, salt and pepper and 1/4 c. milk; mix until well combined; let stand for 5-10 minutes. If mixture doesn’t hold together well after 10 minutes, add more milk, as needed, to reach desired consistency.
Place meat mixture onto the parchment lined baking sheet; pat into a rectangle; press in the sides of the meatloaf to form a cylinder down the middle of the pan.
Bake for about 40 minutes, or until meatloaf is browned and internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Remove from oven; allow to rest for 10 minutes.
While meatloaf is cooking, make garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan, combine oil and garlic; bring to a boil; lower heat; simmer for about 10 minutes, until garlic is lightly browned. DO NOT let garlic burn! Remove the garlic from the oil; set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine chicken stock, water, butter and cooked garlic; bring to a boil; lower heat; simmer for about 30 minutes, until slightly thickened. Mash the garlic with a fork.
Just before serving, stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the warm sauce over the meatloaf.
Serve.
